> Sorry about not being available much Luis... I've just been really busy in the studo (for a change) and money wins out over all. It should calm down soon unless I get some more calls. This time of the year is good for recording and live sound as this is a beach area and summer is alost here. I have been working on some things for Orchestra90 though (when I have time). The file format is simple. binary file in ascii format. The first byte of each line has the hi-bit set and there's no CR's. As for the decoding of actual orchestra90 code... it's all in the manual and since the file is ascii, there are no "hidden" tokens or anything like that. I'll be converting all those "other" orch90 files to Coco format soon, I just want to get through with my Lyra and Umuse3 files first. I have to convert them to General Midi so they will play on most modern PCs through Drivewire. I know Aaron has provided Drivewire with filters for various midi keyboards, they still sound better when run straight GM.
